So, I’ve been seeing my partner for seven months. We’ve had several tantric-like experiences such as losing track of time and feeling extremely connected while kissing. We’ve also had experiences where we’ve shared or matched our breathing and heartbeats and we’ve had sex where we feel ultra connected in our minds and bodies. We’re both in our mid-50s and never experienced anything like it. We haven’t researched tantric sex and haven’t been trying to practice it, we just love each other and it’s what we do when we’re together.

Then, this weekend we crossed over into a level I never knew existed. The first night we were out on my screened in porch and all of our senses were on high alert with the breeze and candles and the sounds of leaves blowing. We had a drink or two and we’re getting in the mood. We moved inside to my bed where he sat up and I straddled him. At some point it felt like we were one body. We had merged and we were connected from PIV all the way through our core and to our soft kisses. Afterwards we both described it the same way- one body and almost like we were hallucinating. We completely lost track of time, but it felt like at least 30 minutes went by until the feeling faded and we took a break. We had what felt like body orgasms, but I didn’t feel the strong contractions of a usual orgasm. This was much better and deeper! The next night we didn’t expect to be able to recreate that magical experience, but turns out we found a new gear! After plenty of good oral and PIV sex, I rolled over on my back and reached in the drawer for my vibrator because I felt like I wasn’t going to orgasm. (Menopause and tired- LOL) My partner put his fingers inside me and I put the vibe on my clit. He started to kiss my nipples and I immediately knew I would come. My orgasm started slowly and built up, then receded and built up over and over and over again. I just kept saying don’t stop and he kept the same pace going. It went on at least ten minutes and then I experienced what he called the crescendo where my whole body had an orgasm and I collapsed in tears from the emotion of it all. I have never been multi-orgasmic or experienced the full body merge like this. In fact, I’ve had to talk to my doctor about low libido, dryness etc. Our eyes are opened to a whole new world. I had to share this here because it was too special to keep to ourselves and it’s not something I could explain to my friends. I’ve never felt closer to another person in my life and I wish this for everyone. Btw, he lives three hours away so we only see each other every two weeks or so. We completely trust each other and don’t have any hangups about sex. We are shocked that the best sex of our lives is happening at 55 and 56.
